I wanted to play as fast as possible, so I didn't look for further mods. The standard setup in MGSO3 have some problems. The placing of some items is incorrect (they levitate more or less at some places). Maybe I'll explore more mods later. Going into scripting is a no go, that's for sure

It's been a while since I last visited Vvardenfell, Lum, but mods don't always solve the glitches you can get in ES games. I still get the occasional flying horse in Skyrim even though there are mods installed which are designed to stop that sort of thing.

BTW I love your image laden reports on your progress through the big island. More please!

...and some useful mods (better signs, better texts, accurate attack, etc). Later I can edit this post with a complete list, if you want.

Yeeeah, and this is where it all start to fall apart for me. See, I'm a lazy person, I like to be spoon-fed in terms of mods. To install one or two mods is okay, but to achieve the results you showed often, if not most of the time, requires installation of a dozen mods, often in a particular order. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to pack all your mods that give those beautiful results into one single file? Just activate the .esm, and off you wander into the lands of Morrowind... *sigh* Well, one can still dream.

I'll definitely try MGSO and hope that it will take me far enough. Still, lum, can you still post that list? I'd like to know what I'm missing.

Also, is it possible for you to post the shader files for MGE? I do remember how I tried to tweak that thing myself, but having no idea what I'm actually doing made this a very short endeavor.

Ah, memories. Morrowind is my second or third favourite game of all time, and I have never played a game more receptive to the idea of being modified and broken. Even the game lore references its malleability.

I've been in the TES Lore group on Facebook for a while now. Those folks are terrifying.

I showed up there, having read all the books, thinking I had a pretty fair handle on the lore of that universe.

AH-hahaha! No.

If anyone actually found the bottom of a TES rabbit hole, they would hire excavators to dig an infinite number of new rabbit holes nearby. Then they would fill in some of the holes. Then in one of the holes they would bury cliff racer bones next to an apocryphal letter from Vivec to Mankar Camoran on the subject of multiple personalities in Lesser Daedra.

Although, to be honest, I think part of this is people thinking it's cool or funny to emulate Michael Kirkbride. I find it very off-putting when I read his bizarre answers to sincere questions -- I often wonder if his highly poetic responses deliberately obfuscate a pleasure in jerking people around. (I'd rather go with a nicer interpretation, but his interviews always come across as impatient and insulting.)

Why should anyone believe him when he declares that he knows the end of The Elder Scrolls universe, and it's this:

I can't help but feel this is being misconstrued from some weird amalgamation of people reading that little blurb you posted in-character a long time ago that everyone quotes about "unbinding the Dragon and erasing the upstart Talos from the mythic" right after reading Nu-Mantia Intercept and how the Towers are fortifications of mortal existence, a subject that never seemed like it was being written with the intention of portraying a bunch of Altmer fundies as the villains.

Would you care to offer some insight on what a more accurate aspiration for the Thalmor's realization of their goals would be, insomuch as it's even possible to write in a sufficiently concise and cryptic manner for an organization that operates on bureaucratically-saturated information overload in more or less everything they do?

They cannot be understood. They are the Other and they hate everything that even smells like mortality.
